Sodaman32 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 So, I was wondering someone could help me? I just went through and changed the machine to vend from bottles to cans. All 8 single column work fine, but the double column will spit out 3 cans every full rotation. It will spit three individual cans outs and then the next vend will do all three. Snack Attack Vending LLC is offering (4) Dixie Narco "E" Series Double Column Plastic Can Shims. This is for the Dixie Narco drink vending machine models 501E & 600E. These shims measure 19 9/16" x 6 3/16". You will need (4) shims on each side of column if vending 12oz cans (Total of 8). This Can Shim is brand new from factory. This is what I installed. I am 99% sure I can the red and grey disc set to the #2 hole. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 The cam should have 3 notches if you're vending 3 deep. It sounds like you may have it setup with only one notch if it's rotating completely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodaman32 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 It will spit out 1 can three times and them the next vend is all three. I wonder if I just need to mess around with my cam until it's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southeast Treats Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 If it's a double column is it not supposed to show six notches? Not sure what number setting that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 actually, Southeast I think you're right. I think I'm confusing the setting for the narrow column. There should be a chart on your door telling you all the seeing #'s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Six notches in a wide column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe101us Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Try cam setting 2 I think that's what I've got my 501E set to for the wide column Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodaman32 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 I have my double column set to the #2 hole and have 6 open positions. also, cans can slide under the back space. It's that a problem? I have them set in there closer to the front of the machine and not under the spacer. Obviously I'm talking about the first row of cans. i have the back spacer in the right depth concerning the diagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacanteen Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Cam on 2 is correct. As for the shims, the widest part goes toward the back of the cabinet, and there should be 4 on each side of the column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodaman32 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 So u had the right shins backwards and it's no longer vending 3 cans but every 5 or 6 Vends it will vend two cans lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not 2 on each side for newer style shims for cans and 1 on each side for bottles?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodaman32 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 The kits come with 4 on each side up the machine it self shows two on each side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 If you are using newer shims then it's 4 - 3/32" shims on each side. If you find any older shims then some might be double that thickness in which you would use 2 on each side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodaman32 Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Ok, so I finally figured out the problem. I needed to add an extra shim to the right side. It just needed an extra on to help hold the can secure until its rotation. So if anyone ever has this problem again...here are the solutions. 4 shims on each side Disc set to the number 2 hole (Showing 6 positions for the motor switch to stop) Make sure the wide part of the shim is at the back of the machine You might need to add an extra shim on 1 or both side to hold the can in until it's time to vend. BOOM!!! THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
